Folks,
I received my approval notice from USCIS but after repeatedly calling NVC, I haven't still gotten mine case number. unfortunately i am unable to get a rep either. I tried at variouos times i.e. early morning as well late in the evening. i'm presently in India and running a good bill trying to reach them.

folks whats teh guestimate for getting a nvc case#? my case was approved on apr 1st 2008 and as per USCIS CSC its been forwarded to NVC right away (might have to take it with a pinch of salt)

any insight or guidance is appreciated.

I think recently there have been delays transferring the case. Last year, it took us a week. But up to a month is not unheard of. I would wait a week and call again. Its not terribly important to have your case number now (but I do understanding wanting to know)...the only thing you can do with it is call the embassy and ask if they received your case.

You right, the best time to call is as soon as they open, or just before close. Be sure to make sure you have the correct times when calling.

My case was approved March 26th. According to USCIS rep. it was forwarded on March 27th together with the hard copy of NOA2 which my husband received in the mail box on March 31st, so I was expecting that the NVC received my case the same day.
I called NVC early this morning and was able to speak with an operator but was surprised when she told me that they haven't received my case yet unfortunately . That's also my question. More or less how many days from USCIS to NVC and assign a case number????

Goodluck to us!

You have to keep calling. Last year there were people here on VJ who had to wait up to 7 weeks for the USCIS to transfer their cases to the NVC. It's very normal, yet annoying nontheless.

Thank you Diana,

Got one more question. Is it true that NVC updates the automated voice message only every tuesdays?

just called teh blokes, some dude said that its been designated to be sent and hasnt been mailed to NVC. call after 2 weeks was his standard reply. good part was came to know even my i-129f is on its way to NVC.

Thanks Mohgli,

Called USCIS and talked to a dif. rep., this time the guy told me it was sent yesterday Can't believed this...

I got couple of friends whose _130 was approved on March 13 and they still don't have NVC case #
So whenever the automated system says that they received it, that is true
you don't have to run high phone bill, they are updating only Tuesday and Saturday

I think u should call NVC by this # (603 334-0700) Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 AM or You can also communicate by email the NVC’s e-mail address is NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.
Good luck

Our case# was assigned after 3 weeks.

Hi, my case was approved on March 13, still no nvc case number. call uscis they say you have to wait 90 days, nvc say they do't have it. dont know what to do. any advice please help...

What is your service center???...i think that plays a big deal...It seems NVC process VSC petitions faster than CSC...I received my approval via email April 4th (Still haven't received the hardcopy yet) and got my case # assigned yesterday in just three business day....and I thought it would be forever until I got it....just keep calling is my suggestion...

CSC is my service center.

I'm CSC an received case number within 7 days and then got DS3032 generated 2 weeks after that.

takes about 7 business days it seems
